Universities across the V4 join forces to rethink learning for the AI era. Through hands‑on Thinkathons, teacher upskilling, and an open regional network, we equip students and educators with future‑ready, ethical AI competencies.
Support statement: The project is co‑financed by the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the Fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.

About the project
Why now?
AI is reshaping skills demanded by the labor market. Many universities still rely on traditional methods, leaving students underprepared. We address this gap with practical, ethical AI‑augmented learning and resilient assessment.
What we do?
We pilot a student Thinkathon, co‑design teaching scenarios with observing educators, convene employers, launch the Learning Accelerator Network, and publish an open‑access guidebook, Learning in the AI Age.
Who benefits?
Students, educators, researchers, employers and the wider public across the V4 region. The project emphasizes accessibility and balanced gender participation.
